Synopsis

Stephanie Racine narrates Women: Our History, which re-examines history from a female perspective. This audiobook celebrates the numerous important roles women have played in culture and society that are less often told.

Packed full of evocative facts, and with a foreword by Lucy Worsley, this audiobook reveals the key events in women's history - from early matriarchal societies through women's suffrage, the Suffragette movement, 20th-century feminism and gender politics, to recent movements such as #MeToo and International Women's Day - and the key role women have had in shaping our past.

Learn about the everyday lives of women through the ages as well as the big names of women's history - powerful, inspirational, and trailblazing women such as Cleopatra, Florence Nightingale, Emmeline Pankhurst, Eva Peron, and Rosa Parks - and discover the unsung contributions of lesser-known women who have changed the world, and the "forgotten" events of women's history.

Placing women firmly centre stage, Women: Our History shows women where they have come from, and, in celebrating the achievements of women of the past offers positive role models for women of today.

This novella explores sexual confusion, female friendship, being a woman and a daughter. This is a tale about a love affair and intimacy between women. It's written in the first person point of view.

Goodreads review by Jessica on April 28, 2024

This is... fine. There's a real disconnect, though, with the reissue. The book comes with a real self-celebratory vibe that is going harder than you'd see even a much celebrated, much lauded, much awarded book. It is a book that defined a queer generation, apparently, that it assures us was passed t......more

Goodreads review by Tan on January 23, 2018

This novella is a young woman’s account of her first same sex relationship. The protagonist falls deeply for a woman 19 years her senior called Finn. Finn at the time of their relationship was in a long term relationship of her own. Yeah. You all know how this ends up. After reading the synopsis and......more
